Abby-isms #20

I just stumbled on an Abby conversation from Aug 31st where she comments on Elsie lineup possibilities and trashes Chrissy Teigen.

“I have had similar thoughts. Absolutely could be used to promote the show. But I’ll pass on CT performing. She’s beautiful, talented, hard working, and ambitious. But not a singer. But clearly there are other guests. Or I would like to assume. Otherwise I demand a refund.”

I thought I would give Google a hit and see if Abby is right. I know you won’t be shocked when I tell you that she isn’t. Here is a video of her on Instagram singing with Luna (X) in their livingroom. She sounds pretty damn good in this un-enhanced video and with autotune, she would sound great.

Thank you for providing the context nonnies 1& 2 and here is your answer about the stripping nonnie 3 , so it appears D was likely a part of the show and used as a model “stripper” and no, in that context not bad, but considering 99% of the D fans that see the tweet have no idea what is being talked about, it doesn’t look good combined with his ownership of a trash bar that I cannot repeat enough is completely degrading to woman.  And yes, if his team was worth anything, they wouldn’t allow such comments knowing what people will assume.  But his team thrives on making him look deplorable.

Interesting on AG.  Of course we have no idea

Yes Abby, but All those GA fans  know how to use Google. Unlike you, the younger generation- and like everybody else- uses Google liberally when we are unsure of something. Instead of sitting in judgement and raging over that we do not know, we look it up. That’s the difference between reasonable people and wretched people who spend their days LOOKING for things to be angry about.

Also, I will again remind you that the “trash bar” looks hella fun to those of us who aren’t reading children’s books to reassure us that our ship is still sailing.  You cannot repeat it enough that the bar is degrading because it still isn’t. You do not understand it and you make no effort to understand it but honey that’s on you.  

Finally, Darren is a grown man with personal agency.  His “team” doesn’t control his behavior in any way shape or form.  Imagine that Darren Criss Inc. is a corporation-Darren is the CEO, the Chairman of the Board, the BOSS and the owner.  Everyone works for him. The imaginary world you have created for him in which he is a pawn to everyone he works with is a lie. Nothing about the scenario is true. I’m always baffled why you want him to be a person who has ceded all control and power in his life to this random group of people who work for him. Why does that Darren appeal to you? That Darren makes horrible decisions and continues to do things that are very detrimental to himself. Your Darren is the worlds worst businessman, a man who continues to sign away all his power to people he should have complete control over.  Why do you imagine he does that?

He’s not white. He’s not straight. And he’s not tall. (X)

What a fucked up rant about someone you don’t even know. 

He’s not white: Darren called himself “white” for years until he learned about representation during promotion for ACS. While it is more accurate to call him “mixed race”, that doesn’t mean that Darren identifies as mixed race. We-as his uberfans- should respect his labels for himself rather than put our own needs above his. 

He’s not straight: And yet he is. Sane people do not argue with strangers over their labels. He has told you many times over the last 10 years that he is straight, there is no credible evidence he ever dated a man, he has been with Mia for 9+ years and he married her.  He is straight and there is no room in this world for a fan to claim to know otherwise. 

He’s not tall: This is such an odd thing to rage about. Why the obsession with Darren being tiny and effeminate, Abby? Is it because that makes him gay or does it make him your size? You’ve called yourself tiny many times. 

He’s not white. He’s not straight. And he’s not tall.

It’s very worrisome that you would think it is ok to post this online.

It is not lost on me my friends that just yesterday morning I reblogged the article about him being a sentimental hoarder.  I actually think D played this perfectly, gave her precisely what she wants, her base can go WILD and he literally confirmed what we know, if it is SPECIAL TO HIM he doesn’t post it on SM (or have his friends post it) and therefore there is nothing special about this very PUBLIC moment with his “wife.”

This was such a deliberate move to not just take the selfie but to then turn the camera to make sure the image is caught on film.

Yay. (Clapping my hands) she got it right- he’s a SENTIMENT HOARDER. First time she’s got it right in at least a year though last time I think she got it right in one post and then reverted back to emotional hoarder.  

As for how or why she believes this post is related to her “sentiment hoarder” comment she reblogged yesterday morning? I mean she’s crazy that's why.  He hasn’t posted the Elsie lineup and she's bitched about that for weeks.

Anonymous asked:

So now that we know that PBB is icing on the shit show cake, do you really think D fans will tune in? Wondering if the “contract” only includes the first few episodes? If it fails or he turns over the project to the leeches, he is done? He can always use his wifey’s famous excuse of being too busy to continue— in his case it would be true. Royalties is starting to make a lot of sense now. I just hope my assumptions are correct. Thoughts?

Well we don’t know the terms of the deal so it’s impossible to say whether d is committed to this show beyond a season. But it’s entirely possible. We just don’t know.

On who will watch, her base for sure. We need to see more to determine if this show will be successful beyond that group.

But r/oyalties is progressing 100% as I expected.

1. We have 1 Instastory of Mia sitting in a chair on set and suddenly she has a contract with the show?  No drama there, nope, none.  

2. “If Darren turns this show over to the leeches”? This show is Darren’s show. He is “committed” for as long as the show runs because IT IS HIS SHOW, he created it, he’s writing it, he’s producing it. It’s his baby. He is invested in it because IT IS HIS IDEA and his writing. Maybe -if it is successful-somewhere down the road he will hand off some of the responsibility but the show shot a season in 3 weeks so this isn’t a show that requires a tremendous amount of time to shoot. He can certainly work in other projects- just as he is doing. 

This isn’t hard to understand-Darren conceived of a show and someone like the idea enough to buy it and pay to have a season made.  Darren is starring in the show- I cannot image a scenario where he says to himself “self, you conceived of this show, pitched it, wrote the pilot, starred in the pilot, got the green light to make season 1 for Quibi, wrote, produced and starred in the first season but now it’s time to hand off the show to the leeches and walk away”.  It would be like Chris pitched TLOS, sold the concept, wrote the first 3 books and then suddenly decided to hand off the series to a random author to write books 4-8.  

3. As for “who will watch”? The idea would be that lots of people watch- just like lots of people watch any new show on any platform. Stranger Things wasn’t a breakout show on Netflix because Millie Bobby Brown stans watched it, it’s popular show because it is good and lots of people who never heard of Gaten and Millie Bobbie started watching it. In fact, people watched in spite of Winona Ryder’s history. Yes-Darren’s fans will watch it to begin with, but the goal is to capture a much bigger audience.

Abby-isms #12 Closeting in Hollywood

“Hollywood sucks. D is far from the only closeted celebrity.  And even those who are out are not treated equally to their straight counterparts.  And those who are in it are well aware.”

There is no doubt that other actors are “closeted” but that means they are pressured by their management to stay in the closet because straight actors have more robust careers- or they have before Neil Patrick Harris broke the mould-or a studio who wants to market a straight actor because it’s what they have always done. But Darren IS not closeted by his team because they are just trying to help him have a robust career-which is their job- nooooo,...according  to Abby, Darren is closeted because it gives Ryan Murphy and his team “power” over him

When I say it’s not about his sexuality, what I mean is they aren’t closeting him for roles. I firmly believe closeting him is what gives them power over him. How they keep him and c quiet. They need this. Is a huge crime. Add m is a danger to his well being and they e forced him to remain with her knowing how toxic she is. So yes that’s how they hide their sins. And ofc he has to be straight to sell the relationshit. So closeting him is required to accomplish their goals but I don’t think it’s because they are doing it for career related reasons. There is no career.

So there you have it- Darren is the only one in Hollywood being closeted because he is a putz who keeps signing contracts that go against his own best interest. He is being screwed over by his team and Ryan Murphy because he keeps letting them. It’s pretty incredible the lengths they go to in order to have power over him and he just goes right along with it. He even calls Ricky “one of his my friends” and expressed gratitude that he is part of the Ryan Murphy family.

If people are questioning, at this point, they are being stupid. There are so many red flags and the H/ollywood thing, whether his character is gay or straight, is adding to them because from the press release it appears the PRIMARY theme of the show is LGBT issues.

I’m going to assume you meant “if people AREN’T questioning...they are being stupid” ....otherwise you are saying that you are stupid.  I mean- I tots agree with that. We aren’t questioning-and we sure as hell aren’t stupid-  because over here in reality, nothing looks odd or out of place because we aren’t trying to shove square pegs into round holes. You- over there on Fantasy Island -are constantly trying to smash square pegs into round holes like you are some out-of-control, pissed-off versions of Bam Bam.  Bam bam bam. 

.  

There are so many red flags and the H/ollywood thing, whether his character is gay or straight, is adding to them because from the press release it appears the PRIMARY theme of the show is LGBT issues.

But does it? Imma gonna repost the press release here for your perusal but other than a gay main character already being played by Jeremy and references to “closeted” Rock Hudson, I don’t see any other LGBTQ references related to the show: 

As buzz grows louder for his new Netflix series The Politician following last week’s trailer, Ryan Murphy has started casting his next show for the streamer, and multiple sources have told Collider that Broadway sensation Jeremy Pope has landed the lead role.

Murphy took to Instagram back in February to announce that his next series, Hollywood, would “begin principal photography this summer,” calling it “a love letter to the Golden Age of Tinseltown.” Pope is expected to play a gay, aspiring writer in 1940s Hollywood, and he’ll likely be joined by a slew of Murphy regulars, including Darren Criss (American Crime Story), Dylan McDermott (American Horror Story), Jim Parsons (The Normal Heart), David Corenswet (The Politician) and Joe Mantello (The Normal Heart).

Murphy recently told Time Magazine that his Pose star Patti LuPone and Holland Taylorhad joined the Hollywood cast, and sources add that Murphy will be casting actors to play closeted screen legend Rock Hudson and two-time Oscar winner Spencer Tracy. Netflix declined to confirm or comment on any casting.

“This straight-to-series production will be my third show for Netflix and I couldn’t be more excited or proud about the work we are doing together,” wrote Murphy, who co-created Hollywood with frequent collaborator Ian Brennan. The two of them previously co-created Glee, Scream Queens and the upcoming Netflix series The Politician starring Ben Platt and Gwyneth Paltrow. Murphy will follow The Politician with Ratched, which is expected to debut on Netflix in 2020, with Sarah Paulson playing the infamous nurse from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest.

Pope recently made his Broadway play debut in Choir Boy, in which he plays a young man coming to terms with his sexuality and identity, and he also made his Broadway musical debut in Ain’t Too Proud: The Life and Times of the Temptations, in which he played Eddie Kendricks, a founding member of the Motown group. His peers noticed his work on stage, voting him just the sixth actor in Tony Awards history to be nominated for two separate performance in the same year. Pope is represented by Gersh and Door 24, and representatives for the actor did not respond to requests for comment on Tuesday.

Per Time Magazine, Hollywood is expected to debut on Netflix in May.

Knowing that Ryan Murphy, Sarah Paulson, and Ben Platt are gay or the mention that Jeremy’s prior role was in Choir Boy about a young boy coming to terms with his sexuality doesn’t make the show “LGBTQ themed”.  But even if it was an LGBTQ “themed” show, Darren never said he wouldn’t act in a show with gay characters or themes.  He only said he wouldn’t play the  gay character.  If you, Abby, weren’t so uncomfortable with the LGBTQ community, this wouldn’t make you so squeamish.

Abby-isms #11

Looking for a post and I ran across this  from Mar 15th, 2017. I added commentary in italics. 

Lessons…learned and unlearned

My guess I’m much older than most in this fandom…OK your as young as you feel. But ajw720 is very wise for her age (HUGE EYE ROLL also not something usually said about someone 50 years old). Whether we like it or not all we can do is sit and watch as one of the most pathetic excuses for a human being tries to get what she feels is her just desserts (I literally hope she does.) The trouble with a manipulating bitch is she is much better at playing the game than we are (It’s incredible to me how much know about Mia’s behavior and motivation when we have no communication with her. It’s almost like they make it all up but that can’t be be true, they are old ladies and adults wouldn’t do that, would they? A lawyer certainly wouldn’t). Believe me this is good, you do not want to be like her, you won’t like yourself (and yet a fully-grown adult can call a complete stranger a “manipulative bitch” and still like herself) . Being a bitch can be good, hope you’ve been one a time or two, three…it’s the manipulation, cunning and games that we will never be as good at. (Oh honey, the ONLY people playing manipulating and playing cunning games IS you). Because of that the only weapon we feel we have is anger and disgust (You certainly have a plethora of both).. We have a lot more, patience, perseverance (LOLOLOLOLOLOLOOL I. can’t breathe, OMG.....whew, I can’t breath, hahahahhahhahahaha D.EEEEEE.L.U.S.I.O.N.V.I.L.L.E ), but most of all love for two genuine, gorgeous, in love human beings who got put in a very unfortunate position because of some very opportunistic people (DRINK, DRINK DRINK. that Kool-Aid). The most important thing we can do is support them, because we certainly cannot live their lives for them. As tough as it is going to be to watch them go through this, think how much tougher it is for them to go through. Cry as you need to, be angry if necessary, all valid emotions. Tears cleanse the soul. I will be doing the same right along with you.  Don’t like…don’t watch, don’t read. I’ve  heard some of you say this yourself. No harm, no foul. (This is where they pretend to be supportive human beings with a higher purpose....I’m vomiting at the insincerity).  Just send them your love, prayers, smiles and heartfelt gift to them to be safe and happy. And in the end to love well, laugh often, lead an extraordinary life, and just plain be happy!

*******

I was going to edit this to make it softer and decided not too.(Foreshadowing to Abby 2019). Because its perfect as stated. And every word rings true (except I am not that young) (I’m rolling my eyes at you Abby).

I think the take away of this is support (Oh, how the times have changed!).  We all love Chris and Darren.  We all want them to be happy.

Yes.  We all get frustrated.  We all get angry,  But in the end, we have absolutely not one clue what it is like to walk one even for one second in their shoes. What it is like to attend a wedding with your fake significant other while the love of your life sits at home. Or to watch another person sit front and center at a show. Or to read a dedication to the PA. Imagine how Darren felt last week when he heard Chris say “my bf Will” and make no mistake, he was warned, but it still must have been gut wrenching to hear.  Or how Chris feels when he sees Darren kiss her, no matter how fake? I just know it must be so incredibly hard.

So as fans. And supporters of them as their true selves. The best thing we can do is to offer our love and support. It doesn’t mean we cannot express our opinions. Or let them know when they have gone too far in our eyes. And if we need to, we should take a break. No question. (Express your opinions is ALL you do nowadays).  

But we should also be letting them know, not matter what, we are here, we support them, and we can be patient (What a difference 2 years make. There is NO patience in the fandom, its s nothing but anger and ugly rage) Because if it seems like forever to us, imagine how they feel. I honestly cannot.

I’m not sure but it seems like the top portion is a submission and the bottom is Abby (X).
